Dantonio knows the state of Ohio so not a big surprise and lets not get too ahead of ourselves yet. I know Michigan was interested in this kid. It is bad enough when State beats UofM on the field but if they start beating them in recruiting as well might as well just blow up Ann Arbor.

A few top recruits leave each year for an out of state school, just not normally to MSU!!! Nice to see they can steal some talent from the other theifs.

He's quite good. There's a lot of legit word on the street that he tried to commit to UM a couple of weeks ago but they didn't accept it due to potential academic issues, same reason they didn't take Burbridge's commitment (plus they're still strong for several other Ohio DEs). I think Pittman still needs to pass the state test, though he'll have more chances to do that next year. Good get if he qualifies.

Re: 2012 Recruiting

I heard the acedemic rumprs as well for UM and OSU, I usually don't buy that though. I think MSU legitemetly nabbed him.

This article failed to mention that Kalis was in AA last weekend and Michigan is one of the schools at the top of his list now.

I would think that OSU would want to at least add some stability to the program and either make a commitment to Fickell in some regards as to his status beyond interim or are they willing just to sacrifice the season to get their guy in there next year?

It was likely written over the weekend and didn't get that info in there.

I go back and forth... can OSU get by with one year being unstabble and losing a few recruits? I tend to say yes, but I don't like it.

Its beginning to look like it will hurt them on recruiting for 2012, they will probably do OK on the field this year but might loose some depth over the next few years in loosing five star talent now. Plus, we don't know what the NCAA sanctions might be in regards to scholarships in the future.
